I mean it when I say Taichung probably makes the nicest spydies but this caly from Moki might even be better. The most amazing fit and finish I have seen on a knife th...

The specs for the C113GPGR Caly 3 list the weight as 4.1 ounces. That is very surprising to me, as previous Caly 3 models (in CF and G10) came in at 3 ounces - not to mention that the Paramilitary 3, with G10 handles, also weighs in at 3 ounces. Anyone know why the new Caly 3 is so heavy? Much as I...

You know, I think Sal even said something like that in the video, but I never understood what he meant until now. Your explanation is much clearer than the video. Frankly, Spyderco would have done better to hire someone like you to write a user's manual for the Sharpmaker.

Surfgringo, Thanks for your extremely clear instructions - (more than my churlish post deserves). I don't have the diamond rods - just the brown and white ones the Sharpmaker came with. I should probably invest in the diamond rods. Just to make sure I understand this, do the diamond rods take off s...

If you can sharpen VG10 using 20 strokes per side for each of the stone positions, that sounds pretty good to me. That means you can sharpen a knife in somewhere between 5-10 minutes. I can set aside time to do that regularly. But some people on this board are saying they don't know how long it tak...

Here's my take on it. When sharpening any knife on the Sharpmaker, you have two choices. You can cant the knife in an attempt to match the actual DPS angle(s) at which the knifemaker or manufacturer sharpened it, which will rarely ever be exactly 15º or 20º per side and will often differ between th...

@Surfingringo I didn't realize that Spyderco releases first versions of knives in G10 and then goes to FRN or CF after the handle design is finalized. Thanks for the explanation. That explains why I can't find knives that I like (such as the Caly 3 which I have in CF) that were originally released i...

This is a very interesting thread. I generally prefer lightweight knives (under 3 ounces) - but I also prefer G10 to FRN, although the only G10 knife I currently have is a Kershaw Skyline, which weighs about 2.3 ounces. So I don't really get why there aren't an Spyderco knives with G10 in the same w...

What's an SFO??

Must be telepathy. I was just wondering what had ever happened to the G10 Delica Sprint run, and lo and behold, there are 9 posts about it in the past week. Perhaps if we all just concentrate on it at the same time, and use the Force...

Are these disputes really about the Spydie hole? I think Spydie hole is a great device for deploying a knife - but so is a well-designed thumb stud, especially those by Benchmade. So I really don't see why this should be a subject of antagonism. There are lots of great knives out there, made by lots...

I have said it a few times but the C3.5 is twice the knife the Native is, yet the Native gets sprints and constant CQI. Just to make clear :I love my Calys and prefer Caly3.5 to Caly 3. Currently Caly3.5 is my second frequently carried knife. Still, I think that it would be more accurate to say tha...

I would love to get hold of a Caly 3.5 with a G10 handle - but as they currently sell for around $287 on Amazon, that's not going to happen. Too many other knives I want in the under $200 range. I sure that if you keep your eye on ebay and BF, you will find under $150 I have seen a couple that had ...

Caly 3 cf, currently my favorite EDC knife. I would like to compare it with the G10 version if I get a chance, though.
